This book explores how iconic architectural structures have performed a myriad of roles and functions that exceed buildings’ everyday uses or identities as aesthetic objects, location markers, or spatial settings, to show that countless films globally have featured famous buildings as inimitable components of narrative exposition, character development and/or identity construction.This volume will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of film studies, media studies, and architecture and architectural history, as well as those in the areas of media and cultural studies, history, popular culture, and urban geography.
